If you are looking for a way of funding your online pharmacy certification programs, then there are many scholarship opportunities available. In this economy, it is not currently recommended to take out bank loans, especially as they can put you into debt for tens of thousands of dollars once you have completed your education. If you take the path of the loan, you will end up having your salary docked at the end of every month for a few years until it is paid off. While this solution is convenient and works for many people, there are also many other opportunities available that do not need to be refunded.
Regional Scholarships
If you are interested in doing your pharmacy certification degree locally, then you might be eligible for a range of scholarships. For instance, you might be able to receive funding from the Dollars for Scholars program. The T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood programs are also available in participating states and many state boards also have their own grants and bursaries available. In some states, you may even be eligible for a special grant designed for residents of the state based on financial need.
National Scholarships
There are also a range of scholarships and grants available from the Federal Government as well as other national organizations and associations. For instance, if you are from the Hispanic minority, then you may be eligible for the “First in My Family Hispanic Scholarship”. The Armed Forces also offer a number of scholarships for those health care professionals who wish to serve in the military after they have finished their training.
Where to Get Information on Scholarships
The best place to find out information about any potential scholarships in your local area or available nationally is to consult with the guidance office for careers at your local college or university. They will be able to provide you with a full list of funding opportunities available. If you already know the college or institution you would like to attend, they may also be able to help you find funding in the form of grants or scholarships.
Working to Pay Off Your Studies
Additionally, there are many programs available from your local state health board which will fully or partially fund your health care studies if you agree to work for the state board for a number of years following your studies (usually 2-5). Depending on where you are placed, you may even be eligible for remote employment bonuses.
